Bandido's Bad at Taking Pictures '03 DC Build

Forgot about things like custom headers and AC plumbing with swaps....
This thread gives me the false illusion of the swap being easier than I'm sure it is lol

Hows' the clearance on everything all said and done? Have you wheeled it much after the swap?
My motor and trans bounce around quite a bit when I'm wheeling, more than I would have thought so that would be a concern of mine with the the intake bashing into the hood or something. That also might have something to do with my driving style though

 

Yeah, lots of custom fab work to get this done.

Clearance is fine, the motor is probably 4" taller, but thats split between top and bottom, its also about 2" wider, the driver side header was the only difficult part to really get right.

Having the right bushings controls movement pretty well!

I have wheeled it a good amount, no issues! the throttle sensitivity is the most annoying thing in low speed chop, kind of why I really want to finish up long travel, so it become medium speed chop. I also need to make some modifications to slow it down.

The rest of the drivetrain works just like a stock truck.
